Summary

"The Sweating Subject is a series of group portraits of tribal chiefs and their court, which includes myself, photographer Jan Banning ... The Sweating Subject recalls colonial photography in which we see a white man pose as the big boss together with his nonwhite 'subjects'. But the white man is a lot less imposing ... In fact, he looks like stranger, misplaced and perspiring heavily, so unsuited is he to the climate."--First page of text.
